Of course, that all depends on submitting the app through Apple and Sky remains coy on whether or not it'll roll out in time for the first checkered flag.

Either way, the app is most-definitely inbound and will join Sky's plethora of iOS offerings such as SkyGo, Sky Movies and Sky Sports News.

Sky Race Control, as the umbrella of coverage is known as, aims to replicate the F1 broadcasts across all platforms. The splitscreen functionality certainly raises eyebrows, watching races from multiple perspectives simultaneously.

It might not be enough to silence a population reeling from Sky's acquisition of the sport, but at least the company has taken measures to give the package some bang for the buck.
